Aspterric acid, a sesquiterpene of the carotene type, is a natural product obtained from the fungus A. terreus. This compound acts as a plant growth regulator and a pollen development inhibitor. In A. thaliana, when applied at a concentration of 38 μM, it hampers pollen development, reduces stem length during initial flowering, and delays bolting and first flowering. Notably, aspterric acid influences the reproductive growth of A. thaliana without interfering with the biosynthesis and transportation of the plant growth regulator indole-3-acetic acid.
